Cross post with The Glass Onion Beatles Journal:
Thanks to the long-running Beatlefan magazine for using two of my book reviews in its latest issue.
Along with my reviews of "The Beatles Through Headphones," by Ted Montgomery and Louise Harrison's new memoir, "My Kid Brother's Band, a.k.a., The Beatles," you'll find lots of great stuff.

Here's the official skinny:
In honor of Ringo Starr's induction on his own into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Beatlefan #212 has a special package of articles that includes a couple of recent fan encounters (including a tale of how Ringo is himself a Beatles memorabilia collector!) from Cortney Kintzer and Dave Persails and interviews by Ken Sharp with some of the current All Starr Band.
Also in the new Beatlefan is All About That Bass, in which Rick Glover, who is a bassist in addition to being the original Fan on the Run, takes a look at the various bass guitars Paul McCartney has played over the years, with a focus on the iconic Hofner and its place in his legend.
Among the other features in the new issue are Ken's interview with legendary record producer Glyn Johns, who talks about The Beatles' "Get Back"/"Let It Be" sessions; Bruce Spizer's 50th anniversary look back at the "Eight Days a Week" single; and Howie Edelson talking with Nick Lowe of Rockpile fame about opening for Wings in 1973. We also have an opinion piece by Jeff Cochran inspired by the recent reissue of "Wings at the Speed of Sound" and Bill Harry's tale of the girl The Beatles left behind.
Plus, four pages of reviews and all the latest news!

So long, Leonard Nimoy
I'm not a huge "Star Trek" fan, but enjoyed the original series. Nimoy always seemed like a classy guy - smart and good humored. Sorry to see him pass. The New York Times has an obituary here.

The Disney XD channel plans an update of the beloved-by-many "Duck Tales" series focusing on Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck and his nephews. It's set to air in 2017.
“‘DuckTales’ has a special place in Disney’s TV animation history,” Marc Buhaj Disney XD’s senior vice president, programming and general manager said in a statement. “It drew its inspiration from Disney Legend Carl Barks’ comic books and through its storytelling and artistic showmanship, set an enduring standard for animated entertainment hat connects with both kids and adults. Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation.”
Britain's ITV network is reviving spy series "The Saint," based on the novels of Leslie Charteris. A pre-Bond Roger Moore starred as Simon Templar, the title character, in the 1960s version.
“There is a post-Breaking Bad appetite for morally grey characters,” says producer Ed Whitmore, who's also penned the upcoming ITV serial Arthur & George based on Julian Barnes’ book about a real-life case involving Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
“Simon Templar is a kind of Robin Hood figure, he's timeless,” he adds.
